I expected a blood bath, but this is like a blood lake. Blood everywhere. I feel like if I go in my closet, open a box, there's blood in there. | ||

But never underestimate the idiocy of the American electorate when tons of money is poured into advertisements. Not to say that's likely, but yknow | ||

Unfortunately I missed the first half of the debate and didn’t catch Bloomberg getting boomed. Hopefully it continues! | ||

Not to say that's likely, but yknow I don't think so. It certainly helps a lot, but look at Jeb Bush for example - no amount of money will make a large number of people vote for a candidate the entire country has already decided against. Bloomberg, after coverage like this, will quickly reach Jeb Bush status of unlikeableness. Makes you really appreciate how good Trump was at deflecting the exact same series of questions on sexual harassment, tax returns, supporting [the other party], etc. Bloomberg clearly has no knack for public speaking alongside having just as much baggage. | ||

I don't like Amy, but forgetting a name (if thats what it really was) is indeed a dumb thing to attack someone over. That being said, if you watch the interview where it happened, the rest was much more justifiably embarrassing | ||

As for your first point, I was half joking. This looks really bad for him. But the reason I was half joking was exactly due to your second point. Its been done before. The two big difference is, as you said, Trump and his PR team are masters of social engineering. The other is that he succeeded in deflecting such attacks in the Republican Party, which is a whole different ballgame than doing such things in the liberal left | ||

I don’t like Amy either, but humility is a quality I like to see in politicians. | ||
